Adam Johnson - Potentially how good?

[Stillsy]

How good do you reckon the lad could be?

Imo i reckon he could be the best english winger we have ever had.

I know thats a bold statement but hes a traditional winger that doesnt really on ridiculous amounts of pace like Lennon and Walcott.

The chances he creates from cutting in on his left peg and the amount of penalties he has already won is just brilliant, all he needs to do is maybe start scoring a little more and you know we have a good player when everyone in the media and every rag is raving over him.

He also has that swagger and cockyness, Just look at these 2 vids and you will know what i mean and i think he brings a great team spirit, he will be amazing at this club and i hope he tears big fat sam allardice's blackburn a new arsehole at weekend!

Probably one of the best of the last 30 years. Easily.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Potentially incredible. Got the skills, the brain, and the bottle...

 

[Inzi]

someone's obsessed lol

give him the full year and then we can all decide how good he can/will be

 

[Totnes Blue]

Old fashioned winger,great to see.Excellent technical skills,should start for England.

 

[oakiecokie]

For the £8M we paid (with the add ons included) this lad must be breaking most other PL managers hearts.
Anyone could have had him,but most didn`t want to gamble !!
Well fucking tough shit !!
By no means the finished article and he will need a few rests over the coming months,but if he can become our Giggs,in the talent sense, then we really are looking at a true star.

He's Englands only skillfull player, he's the only one with the balls to try anything special, he's one of the only wingers that can actually cross with some sort of consistency, well really he's one of the only consistent performers (for us obviously) and that time the crowd started giving him stick was ace when he signaled 3-1 to them...

Every good national side has at least 1 skillfull flair player in their XI, and if England want to achieve anything, he has to be the first name on the teamsheet.

 

[goat boy]

best ever? 'stanley' and 'matthews' are words that spring to mind. the kid's ripping up trees right now but he has a LONG way to go, yet.

 

[DontLookBackInAnger]

The one worry will always be his lack of pace, that doesn't mean he can't make it at the highest level, but it makes it that much harder against the really top fullbacks(at world level).

 

[floridablues]

this kid was such a steal from middlesborough only 7mil! he's going to be one of the greatest in the world within the next 2 years
